The Requirements

Your child or teen may be able to enroll in a Healthy Kids plan if he/she is:

• under the age of 19
• a New Hampshire Resident
• a U.S. citizen, a refugee, an asylee, or a permanent resident who has been in the U.S. for at least five years

Family Income

The Healthy Kids programs were designed for working families. Your family income and size will determine if your child qualifies for coverage and if you are required to make monthly premium payments. Click here to see the current income guidelines chart. (PDF 14Kb).

Current or Recent Insurance

Even if your child is currently insured, he or she may still be able to enroll in Healthy Kids Gold and receive services not covered by your private insurance. Healthy Kids Gold may also pay for certain medical services your child received up to 90 days before you signed up.

To qualify for Healthy Kids Silver, your child must have been uninsured for the past six months. This requirement may not apply in special situations such as job loss or in cases of domestic violence.

Healthy Kids Buy-In Exceptions

If your child is a non-citizen but a legal resident, you may be able to enroll in the Buy-In program. Teenagers over the age of 19 who are still enrolled in high school are also eligible for Healthy Kids Buy-In. Your child must be uninsured for three months in a row before they can join the program.
